How to make an app for a packers and movers company

For a mover, every job starts with a survey and ends with a signed packing sheet. In between are a quote, a date, a truck, a crew and an advance. An app keeps each move from enquiry to delivery, turns the survey into a quote and shows which truck and crew are available on a date.

Who uses the app

The office, the surveyor and the crew leader. If the surveyor fills lists at the customer's home on his own phone, connect your own Supabase database so the office sees them; a one-person office can keep the data on one phone.

The screens a packers and movers company app needs

Enquiries: New leads with name, phone, from and to, flat size, preferred date and the survey status
Survey: Room-wise list of items (beds, wardrobes, fridge, sofa, cartons) with the vehicle size worked out
Quotes: Packing, transport, labour and extras from the survey, made into a PDF to send
Moves: Confirmed moves by date with the truck, driver, crew and pickup and drop addresses; a map with pins for both
Packing sheet: Numbered cartons and items for each move, as a PDF the customer signs at pickup and checks at delivery
Payments: Advance, balance and expenses per move (diesel, toll, labour)

Features worth asking for

A room-wise survey list that suggests the vehicle size from the items
A quote PDF with your name, GST number and the list of what is included
A calendar of moves showing which trucks and crew are booked
A numbered packing sheet PDF for each move
Pickup and drop addresses as pins on a map and as Google Maps links
Expenses per move, so each move's profit is clear
A WhatsApp button to send the quote, the date and the crew leader's number

Where the data lives

If only the office uses the app, the data can stay on one phone. If the surveyor and crew leaders use it on their phones, connect your own Supabase database; add Razorpay to take the advance by payment link, with the money going to you.

Copy this request, change the details to match your packers and movers company, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my packers and movers business, Reddy Relocations in Hyderabad. Screens: enquiries, survey, quotes, moves, packing sheet and payments. Enquiries have name, phone, from and to cities, flat size and preferred date. The survey lists items room by room and suggests a vehicle: small, 14 ft or 19 ft truck. Quotes add packing, transport, labour and extras like AC uninstallation, as a PDF with my GST number. Moves have a date, truck, driver and crew, with pickup and drop as map pins. The packing sheet numbers every carton. Track advance, balance and diesel, toll and labour costs. Orange and navy colours.

Tips for a packers and movers company app

Give AppCub your own list of items and which truck size each flat size usually needs.
Fill the survey list at the customer's home and send the quote the same day while they are deciding.
Print or share the packing sheet at pickup and check it with the customer at delivery.
Record diesel, toll and labour for every move; that is where long-distance moves lose money.
Start with enquiries, quotes and moves; add packing sheets after the first few jobs.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't track trucks live on a map and doesn't connect to GPS devices. Crew leaders call or WhatsApp the office with updates, and addresses open in Google Maps.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app turn a survey into a quote?

Yes. Items listed room by room give a vehicle size and a total, and the quote becomes a PDF you send on WhatsApp.

Can I see which trucks are available on a date?

Yes. The moves calendar shows each truck and crew booked by date, so you don't promise the same truck twice.

Can customers track their truck in the app?

No. AppCub apps don't do live tracking. The crew leader's number goes to the customer on WhatsApp so they can call.

Can the packing sheet list every carton?

Yes. Ask for numbered cartons with what is inside, made into a PDF the customer signs at pickup.

Can I work out the profit on each move?

Yes. Record the quote amount and expenses like diesel, toll and labour, and the app shows what is left.

Can the surveyor use the app at the customer's home?

Yes. With your own Supabase database connected, the surveyor fills the list on his phone and the office sees it straight away.
